What military commanders are you referring to? NATO commanders or EU commanders? Almost all of these commanders do one thing, send more weapons to Ukraine and when the Russian presses the button all these commanders have fled and we pay for the shit. There are also military leaders who say we are currently making the biggest mistake there is, if World War 3 starts it is over.
Johnson, Biden, von der Leyen and some German politicians are currently going full on war, if it starts you can thank them if you still have the opportunity.
The Russian has no interest in Eastern Europe, what will he do with these countries in which 90% of the population hates Russia like the plague?
If it comes to World War 3, these countries will only get one additional thing because they have willingly offered themselves as a hub for the US and EU weapons supply, they even tear themselves to give Ukraine even more weapons.
Russia has made its mistakes and errors, but Ukraine is no better, and the Ukrainian leader is a despot and fascist who has been willingly assassinating his own people for years, and Europe and the US look the other way.
